Also, ive noticed that you (at least in your posts) don't vote for your own video. I mean you pretty much have already won it seems, but im just wondering why you don't vote for your own vid???
I really loved M2, it just wasn't my favorite.

I brought out about 30 videos. and I also edited ALOT for others and myself. I put out countless hours of effort into playing/editing and alot of more stuff.

I helped people getting better at the game. I made myself one of the most reachable montage makers (like everyone could just add and play with me). Same goes for talking on AIM, even tho I can't respond to most lately because I have an avarage of 45 IM's open. I made a huge thread with gameplays in it and a how-to-play guide next to each gameplay.

I never charged a single cent for anything I did for others. I never charged for playing, editing, FR's, or whatever. I made a sh.tload of threads for peole, helped them with editing. Uploaded alot of montage for people. I even made people their acounts a 50 for nothing.

Why did I not ''deserve'' this? I'm saying ''I'' right now because 0 of you people b..ching about M2 have mentioned Exus so far. It's always Dutchy this, Dutchy that. You know what that means? Well, I hope you people are smart enough to know what that means. Makes you quite a fanboy yourself because appearently you somehwat look up to me aswell. Are you guys really forgetting how many hours of effort Exus put into this?

I understand M2's wasn't everyone's favorite, and I really don't mind at all. I wouldn't even have made this post if 1000 people were saying ''I did not like M2'' instead of ''M2 did not deserve to.. blablabla ''

It's just sad to know that if Exus would have brought out M2 under a different name for the player, and nobody knew it was me, people would still vote this much for it (and probably even more). It makes people have quite a biased opinion actually. Wich is quite immature.

Deep sh.t right there bois.
But seriously dutchy its not that they think your video wasn't good its the fact that they thinks other videos are better. You must admit you have a lot of fan boys riding you hard. The video was great no doubt but the race imo should be much closer instead of you and exus and taking it easily. You do deserve what you get at all costs you built a fan base for yourself and this is what you get.

I feel you Dutchy. What hurts most is when you don't sell out and turn into a tool, but people still treat you like one.

This competition isn't about who deserves anything because everyone has different opinions on things. Especially now that all the entries are amazing in this top 10, to say none of these tages deserve 1st place is ridiculous; it's all about who wins it.

EDIT: Wanny, why should the race be closer? M2 was a great tage. Dutchy has a good following, but if he releases a shit vid, or has shit gameplay people call him out on it just like anyone else. Everyone in the top 10 has their following, no one "deserves" the votes they get, it's all about how the audience feels. Quit being a doucher bro.

Dont feel bad dutch, i put two years into my vid, and it didnt even get nominated

i believe the montages that have made it thus far are because each montage has something that transcends mediocrite. and quite frankly; people are just tired of seeing re-wash and re-used montages. the vast majority of editors forgot why we make montages in the first place.... to be entertained.

Deep sh.t right there bois.

You completely misunderstood my post.

It's not about M2 being better/worse than all the other videos. It's about the whole ''to deserve'' thing. I didn't like Tizoxic that much, Wanny. But I don't think it doesn't deserve to get anywhere. It deserves to get somewhere just as much as M2 and all the other vids did.

Also, I have a nice challenge for you people with the fanboy theory. Find those kids for me If you're really lucky they'll only have 40 posts too short to vote at all.

It's kinda obvious I became some kind of favorite player to alot of people for the quantity and quality of video's I brought out. So somehow that could have been an influence to the voting, yes, but NOT without having M2 to have an increased entertainment factor for those people. And that's what this comp is about right now, right? the ''best'' video, and with that I don't mean a specific category. I don't think anyone would be like: OH Shi- M2 was awful, Oh well, it's Dutchy, I'll stille vote for him. I enjoy watching my favorite sportsplayer the most aswell, despite the fact there are better players than him. Get it?

And oh, we should also all hate on Michael Jackson, because after having to released over 9000 hits, he had 6 trillion fanboys. He doesn't deserve to win any kind of money for his effort he put into music.

The pinnacle of H3F idiocy. I don't even think you read his post.

He GOT his fanbase by putting out amazing videos. If you can name a single person who's voted for dutchy and hasn't sincerely thought it was best overall I'd love to hear it. Please. If you can't this whole "theory" you guys have been complaining about is as moronic as it sounds.

Honestly in my mind, in terms of best overall FA Contractus and M2 are in a league all their own. Does that make me a fanboy? Of course not. Gameplay in R3, exe and blackbox sucked. I wouldn't exactly say the editing in 3, Roadblock, or P&F 2 were paticularly amazing either. Of course Dennis has a fanbase, he earned it. But I'd be willing to bet that almot all of his votes are from people who seriously thought he had the best vid. Prove me wrong.

You and Exus both created one of the best Halo 3 montages of all time. People always hate on the better videos, because they are better. It's like veterans in a war with rookie recruits; they don't think you deserve the credit as a war hero because you have experience over them. Not to say the other competitors are unexperienced, or whatever...

I think everyone is putting WAY too much thought into why M2 is winning, and whether or not fan boys are skewing the voting results, etc. Honestly, you need to realize that there are about 200 or so voters in every round. Of those 200 or so voters, a very good majority are members who have been around this site long enough, have been involved, or have contributed enough to recognized a good halo montage when they see it. Honestly, I just can't see there being more than a handful of voters voting for Dutchy simply for the fact that he's Dutchy. And that obviously isn't going to push M2 ahead of the rest of the videos by the margin it currently is.

And one last thought, even if the fanboys are "skewing" the results, too bad. They are members with 50+ post that are entitled to their opinion, so stop crying. Don't like it? Don't participate in this competition.

You posted this while I was typing my reply, but this is 100% how I feel.
